Wanderings in Manhattan - King Kong Has Left the Empire State Building

The Empire State Building, named after the nickname of New York State (what an imperial name in a democratic country) was once the tallest building in the world. Thanks for the movie "King Kong" that led the building has become a famous landmark.


Mini Empire State Building is a major decoration inside the building.


In order to encourage visitors to use stairs rather than elevators between 80/F to 86/F, a staff kept saying: "Come on guys, you can do it". The result? Not very effective of course.


Manhattan downtown view from the 86th floor observatory. A typical metropolitan with very high skyscraper density.


Yellow cabs look like little ants walking one by one.


King Kong has created a series of souvenirs according to his portrait before he left the building. If you really miss him, then buy one home.
